.APP future

[Lawismything]

Wih the way things are looking in terms of registerations, sales,indexed sites and big use-cases, can someone who has been around for a while compare this to other .gtld with stats and their prediction of how .app will preform within the next year/two with the data so far

I stumbled upon (on Twitter) a really nice little tool to see what is already registered in .app, which is helpful in seeing how over speculated the extension is. It is at:

https://domainsurfer.app/

You simply start typing in anything, and it shows that .app have been registered with that as part of it. Or you can set start with or end with if preferred. For example, I entered blockchain, and found that already there are 472 domain registrations with that word in .app!

I don't know the person who created it, but it is a nice tool when seeing what is already gone!

The heading says
"The sale might be legit"

And there is a disclaimer on the article

The sale is legit. Gay.app forwards to blued.com and blued.com themselves have also confirmed the purchase.

rn .app currently with $15,000 bid on Sedo.

#2 for what?

Ranks #2 at Google, when searching for "cash".

 

[Lawismything]

Nothing in stone yet, don't think one reported sale yet, but it's new....give it time. Really good one words and short two words will sell. SSL needs ironed out but alot of places like Godaddy offer this now. Some others can chime in.

Nice insight, amazing how gay.app sold to blued for a million.

^ He posted one. But I disagree I don't think it's useless...when you factor in all the others that've sold.

You've disturbed my sleep, was there a sale that we are unaware of?

Its amazing. Pay x.xxx,xxx for a forwarder.
I compare it to .blog Everyone needs one or .lgbt why did the big boys not brand around that ext?
Waste of time imo. Sure will be a few winners, like google and godaddy
The one word .app I was looking at is still not booked
(2) twoWord.ca's better investment

Yes gay.app sold for a million and is now a forwarder to a gay site that ranks lower in serp
than grindr,com for gay app
I googled "gay.app" there's grindr again

It is too early to say because the gTLD is still in its Land Rush phase. This typically lasts about six months for normal TLD launches. Usage and development is low at the moment. The HTTPS/Secure by default is wishful thinking by Google and has not worked out in reality. The HTTPS angle has caused problems with sites not having certs or being HTTPS enabled. It needs time to develop and solve some of the problems. However, most of the .APP domain names, much like other TLDs, will remain unused in the first year at least.

I posted this in the app thread, but then saw this one, and just wanted to point out that DNPric.es are showing 10 sales now, all on GoDaddy Auction, with an average price of $210. All but one are 3 letter.

I think we will continue to see growth and new registrations, but from now on most of them will be by end users of newly released or about to be released apps.

In terms of predictions, I think that after a year a lot of the speculative domain investing will drop out and the total registrations will go down a bit then, but not by much.

I think we will see aftermarket sales, but mainly of low to high $$$ variety. I think ultimately it will be one of the better of the ngTLDs. I hope someone will do a statistical comparison with say early days of .club, but I have not the time right now.

That's a sweet little tool! Thanks for sharing Boss!

But the renewal fee seems to be around 1K. Hope the buyer did their homework.

 

[MadAboutDomains]

I see lots of .ca sales, do you make sales with these often? Wondering if they are worth the investment

This is the .app Future thread .

But the renewal fee seems to be around 1K. Hope the buyer did their homework.

I'm surprised that they don't disclose the renewal cost. I suppose it's not good business to do it. It's at this point that regulation is required to prevent people from getting stung financially.

 

[MadAboutDomains]

There's still some epic .app domains for standard reg fee's though. I honestly think the right "standard regs" might actually have more value moving forward than most "Premium" labeled .app domains simply because maintenance cost.

Yup, I believe I got one of them for non-premium renewal fee. For .APP domains that cost $1k renewal, you have to be making over $1k a year out of them to guarantee that they are worth something, so you may well be right, otherwise you're down from the moment you buy it.

Cash.app at #2, that is pretty remarkable.

 

[campout]

It's #1 in Google for me. That is interesting.

 

[mr-x]

Me too.

 

[mpls]

Ok guys as I thought it is a redirect.
From old site cash.me to new site cash.app (check this: https://httpstatus.io/)
Here is explained why it rank 1st.
I hope no one thought, in 2018, that it was due to the fact that it was a domain cash.* or .app extension (preferred to any other extension as owned by google).

 

[MadAboutDomains]

I thought that was pretty common knowledge. It's an app owned by square. They didnt create the app just for the .app extension you know...

[Hootsifer]

Forgot about that one, so one major sale reported so far if true but not sure if it was verified yet?

 

[EZPZYO]

Just another useless extension IMO. Wake me up when there's a legit $ale..
